Loved this. The Seventies eh, where you got a job because you knew someone who knew someone who worked there, and person interviewd you liked insects too.

I genuinely laughed out loud at this post. The exploding ladder and the cross legged mannequin.

The photos are great.

Love your writing and glad you kept all the stuff.

It's great that you documented this period of you life. Wish I had the forethought to do the same, particularly comic / record shops I visited in my youth. Waiting for a train, looks like it could be a frame from a movie.

I absolutely love these posts, Steve. Your eye for, and memory of, specific details make these such a treat to read. The beautiful absurdity of the everyday. The bag illo appears to be by the singular James Cawthorn, who's Morcock adaptions I have a large soft spot for.

Dark They Were and Golden Eyed -- I think I went there once. It's probably my favorite name for a comics shop. The colors in your photos are amazing!
